That's just my type.

I did while being an expat for 9 months, but not from standard traveling, despite the hook ups and mini relationships.

>>1126331
Never capital-L love because travelling is ephemeral by nature. I could have if I had continued to see the same girl for a month or two, but such is international travel.
I was an emotional wreck during my Erasmus, though.

>>1126331
No but I fell in love with a foreign exchange student and was never able to do anything about it because I was with someone. She slipped away and I'll likely never see her again.

Married now, plan on reconnecting with her if things end up not working out.

Sure, it's definitely better than SC (bar Charleston). You can take Metro-North into the city. Also can take high(ish) speed trains to anywhere in the NEC from NYC, New Rochelle, or Yonkers.

Westchester's really nice and I'd hate to move away from here. It's expensive though, so only come here if you can afford it or have family to stay with.

How much would it be to get an apartment with roomate(s)?

>>1139516
Look at Ljubljana too.
If by "winter stuff" you also mean some kind of sport, Slovenia definitely a great country to visit.

It's been a few years since I visited, but I really liked the place. Small and comfy, good food and wine.

>>1139517
Thanks, I actually did take a Lonely Planet book about Slovenia out of the library yesterday and the Julian Alps also seem like a great place to visit.

We might like to try skiing, but we are also interested in stuff like Christmas Markets, ice skating, and maybe a classical concert with Christmas music, if that makes sense.

>>1139521

I'm not into any of that myself, but by God, that sounds like a /comfy/ vacation. I can't offer much advice because I've never been to Europe in winter, but have fun, OP!

>>1139488
Bossa Nova.

Anything by Antonio Carlos Jobim or Joao Gilberto for starters. I recommend Stone Flower.

>>1139493
Right, I forgot about that album. Too comfy man. Thanks.

I'd go to Colombia if I were you.

>>1139463
trolling?

>>1139484
No.
It's not the 90s anymore. If you don't wander off to the shitty districts it's actually a great place to visit.

>>1139400
>the agent was looking at me weird.

lol, im sorry op your life is over

>>1139473

What

>>1139400
How old are you? You sound like you dont travel very often and mostly alone.
When traveling alone i get nervous too but its more of a depressed nervesness.
Even if the guy at customs gave you the "weird eye" he will probably think you are just scared of flying or scared of someone blowing themselfed up at the airport. If he had been suspicious he would have said something
Dont know if this helps. Probably not

>>1139308


they're like most small towns in America. shitty, but you might find some good locals.

>>1139351
do you actually live there? what makes you not move out?

>>1139308
obese and meth heads.

If you have enough money you can basically buy citizenship anywhere.

I'm not aiming to antagonize you, but I think you're failing to consider the reasons the foreign state wants you living there for a while before considering you one of its own

for more of less, that time is spent ... well ... becoming a part of that state

that said, where are you from and your parents and their parents and so on? some places have pretty lax citizneship by descent -- Ireland and Italy spring to mind

>>1139290
and Israel

>>1139221
Did anyone penus your mouth?

Tell us about the best ride you hitched.
Did you sex at all?

>>1139265
I did not sex til I got back home to NY
Best ride I got might have been with a trucker, he was super cool. He brought ne din Albuquerque to Flagstaff in one day, and when I left Albuquerque that morning I thought it was gonna take me at least 2 of 3 days. He was Indian (dots, not feathers) and he told me all about being a trucker. We stopped at DQ and he bought me ice cream. He drove with cruise control with his legs crossed both up on the seat, and he would randomly burst out into Indian prayer songs. In return I beat-boxed for him.
He took me farther than anyone which is why I might say it was the 'best'

>>1139204
I'd say you watch it pan out for a week, a week and a half, then decide. Until when can you cancel and get your money back?

>>1139207
Up to five days before hand

Too dangerous, it wont be stable for a while i think, just cancel it man, not worth your life

Dude club

>>1139154
Nah we're probably gonna end the day pretty early.

>>1139152
DUDE GALLERIA LMAO
Sorry for the shitpost: I've only been to MIlan once, and we saw the obvious tourist shit.

Just bought two anker external batteries. I had a shitty unbranded one my dad gave me that always crapped its pants and never worked. So I said fuck it, I like the concept but this thing is crap, and dropped bank on a 10,000 and a 3,330 Anker.

Otherwise small nailclippers, phone and charger, 2 bottles of water (I use metal.) Wool blanket if i have packroom.

I got a heavy Anker 20000 battery. Even if I don't run out of charge during the day, it's nice to use it in the hostel bed so I don't need to plug stuff in each night with people trying to sleep. It's useful to have the extra source so I've got much more leeway

It doesn't work for my iPod classic though, just my phone

In my backpack I always take some wet wipes, moisturiser, deodorant. Mostly pretty simple stuff, the battery is the only 'accessory' as such

I always bring a daypack so I figure I may as well take these things out each day

Condoms

>What's a realistic amount of money to go with?

However the fuck you have, cuntface. Clearly you're not gonna spend $1k per day if you don't have them

>>1139147
Silly of me to think that any other board on this site wouldn't be /b/.

>>1139128
If your flight and rooms are booked you're ahead of the game.

It's funny you mention 1K a day as that's the amount I try to go with, but realistically if you don't gamble much you can get by with a few hundie a day. Vegas is an expensive town but you can eat at fast food prices and drink shit beer just like in any other town for not much more than elsewhere, and that still leaves you a little gambling money.

I don't recommend doing Vegas this way, the strip is expensive and I hate to be on a budget there, but it IS doable. If your friends are "better off" tell them ahead of time you won't have that much dough and if they're bros they'll probably offer to buy drinks and such.

Save as much as you can, but you'll still have a good time with $300 a day.

I think your best bet is to do a clinical exchange when you're in med school. I talked to a guy who went on a clinical exchange to Palestine, when a war suddenly broke out, and they let him preform a lot more procedures than he was used to.

How does it work with pre med and med school in the US? We just have med school right after high school.

>OPs medical school application
>2016-2018 practised illegally on humans

What an entitled cunt.

>How does it work with pre med and med school in the US? We just have med school right after high school.
PreMed is a 4 year bachelors degree, and can be in physiology, biology, physics, really, any science, as long as you take courses that they require by the time you apply for grad school (medical school).
Medical school is highly competitive. During your pre-med years, you should not make more than 1 B or C grade in more than 1 course. Period. That's how it is. Students might apply to 10 med schools and get accepted by only 1, maybe 2. There are a lot of chiros and HS science teachers who didn't make it to med school, let's just say. After completing 4 years of medical school (a total of 8 years of schooling), they graduate with the masters and doctors all at once, an M.D., and if they add a year of research within it, they can get a MD/PhD. Then it's time for a residency program, another competitive step, with a "match process" where the schools interview the students and rank them, and hopefully your #1 matches someone liking you back. So, this is 9-13 years to become board eligible.

This might lead someone to believe they should practice medicine without a license in order to increase chances of acceptance, but that's crap. Go ahead and do something meaningful with your free time like ACE every single class you are presented with in college. Study ahead. Treat this like a game of survivor where only 1 person from your entire college will make it. Go volunteer for a charity that is somehow affiliated with mental health, physical health, even holistic stuff like alternative medicine. But, where will you have time? Is it that you aren't sure you want to be a doctor?

Protip: If you don't get into med school, get a masters in something interesting like Ethics, or Statistics, and try again.
